The insanity in my neighborhood continues... Plus, I finally find out the address of the shared home of my favorite on-screen couple in real life, William Powell and Carole Lombard!
Thank you so much for this great find! I'm a MAJOR Powell fan (seen every film that's available) and "My Man Godfrey" is in my Top 10 list. Have to differ with you on one thing. In 1936, Powell's career was not in decline. In 1934 he'd done the first Thin Man which was a huge success, followed by the second TM in '36, along with "Libeled Lady" (with Harlow) and "The Great Ziegfeld"..he was big box office, so much so that Universal came to MGM to get him on a loan out for "Godfrey". It's true that Lombard had approval and wanted her ex for the film. Harlow -- I've been in the home she was living in at the time of her death. Thanks again for keeping the flames of classic Hollywood burning bright!
One of my favorite stories about William Powell is how he strongly suggested to the director that he cast Carole Lombard in 'My Man Godfrey'.
I just watched 'How to Marry a Millionaire' last night...Mr. Powell was STILL a damn good looking man in '53!
Agree.. and just the way he carried himself. what a gentleman.
I love that you love William Powell. ❤️
Me too
I think it's amazing the houses you show still stand after all these years. So much history.
We so love William Powell in the thin man series,thanks for the great vlog Jordan
Jordan, I LOVE when you go to Whitley Heights. I love thinking about the early stars that lived there and what it must have been like. I enjoyed the Powell/Lombard house. Thank you!
MY MAN GODFREY IS MY FAVORITE! I've always been curious about the marriage & why it broke up. I think I get it now. Thanks Jordan.😊👍
That style of home is by far my favorite. Thank You Jordan for the time you put into these videos with research. My Man Godfrey is a favorite of mine too.
I love the way you recount the stories of old Hollywood historically and not in a gossipy fashion. So much information.
Loved William Powell as Nick Charles.
So funny Jordan! I just watched My Man Godfrey last night. Enjoyed it very much, great dialogue. William Powell is great. Love him in the Thin Man mysteries. So enjoy your vlogs of different movie star homes. You’re so knowledgeable. Thanks for your great stories.
That was good and fun to see this! I was just reading a lot about William Powell's life and there doesn't seem to be any great biographies to read on him. I thought he seemed to have a nice long life with his with wife in Palm Springs in his long retirement. The happiness in those photos on-line are a real upper. He had gone thru the mill at some point with Harlow's death and his illness. But happy ending after all. Happy marriage with Diana Lewis.
Re-watching Jordan's old vlogs and really enjoying them! I love all those old-time stars. William Powell was great!
Jordan, loved this video! I loved the walk through the pathway to the street above, so peaceful. The house is very nice & has a great history with them living there. I'm glad you where able to tell the couple living there who really lived in the house. Unfortunately not to many today know the name of William Powell.
Love seeing Jah enjoying his salmon lunch, what a sweetheart!
Thank you, Jordan for another great vlog!!! 🌼
I agree with you about My Man Godfrey, a movie that's both humorous and a morality tale applicable today. A movie of personal redemption.
The Thin Man Series was one of the best series of movies of its time.
Love William Powell as much as you. Glad someone else cares as much as you and thanks for showing this....
Me too!
I love William Powell and Myrna Loy together. I also love Life with Father.
Very nice to see William Powell's house. He's one of my faves. Best wishes from Britain!
I am not one that gets into old movies but you have made me want to watch My Man Godfrey. I also really enjoy all the houses you point out. So many beautiful structures in your area.
Jordan: love your vlogs!! Actually found you because we lived in this house , 6613 Iris Circle ( William Powell house) until 2009. We now live in Granville Towers which has its own Hollywood Royalty history! Keep it up!!
Wow! So cool you lived there!
This is interesting stuff! Thanks for doing all the legwork and research, and editing, etc. Great job!!!!
Hi Jordan..I'm from the UK and similar to you, discovered William Powell about 10yrs ago in the Thin Man series..then I went and got hold of any films of his I could, including My man Godfrey..he is the epitome of suave with a large dose of self effacing humour..rather like David Niven..anyhow really enjoy your travels as you show the 30s and 40s Hollywood locations and to a Brit like me it seems like another world..keep making them along with your little dog..hes great!
I am a huge fan of William Powell and Carole Lombard. You made a comment that Lombard got Powell a job in My Man Godfrey to help him work as his career was in a slump. In 1936, Powell was in After the Thin Man as well as The Great Ziegfeld. He was very popular in the 1930's and never lacked work.
Really enjoyed that. Thank you for taking us along with you.
It’s so interesting to see the beautiful public walkways throughout LA that run directly by private yards and homes. I don’t recall seeing anything like that here in Alabama. I subbed a couple of months ago and I’m going through your older vlogs now. Your storytelling is awesome and has inspired me to research many subjects on my own that I didn’t know much about prior to watching your vlogs!
Great vlog Jordan. I missed your posts while traveling, glad I am back! This one is my favorite! oh, hell they are all my favorite!
Im hooked...love what you do...keep up the great work
Just found you. Lovely job - really enjoying your vids. Big film buff myself, and a huge fan of William Powell and Carole Lombard since childhood. Thank you.
Great story! Learned quite a bit. Loved that movie and suggest it to others all the time.
All the details you provide are very much appreciated!
+OurHumbleLife thank you
Will have to look for that movie to watch. My husband and I collect classic movies but we only have seen William Powell's Thin Man series. Thank you for sharing the home. Didn't realize he was married to Carole Lombard before Gable. He shared his love for Thin man series before we got married when he was still USMC at the time.
that's a beauyiful home for 2 great actorswow awesome
every home has a story to tell and you vlog that story tyvm Jordan
Jordan, what a wonderful vlog! I noticed how high those steps were and how far Carole and William, must have had to walk! They were so glamorous then! It reminds me of a home off Runyon Canyon!
I saw this movie as a child; with my Great Grandmother! I'll have to watch it again! Thanks..🎉
Just wanted to offer a correction: William Powell requested Carole Lombard for "My Man Godfrey" -- not vice versa -- per multiple biographers of both stars. Rather than being on the decline, Powell's career was thriving at the time, given "The Thin Man" (1934); "The Great Ziegfeld" (Best Picture of 1936, and the same year as Godfrey); and in-between, "Reckless," which paired him with Jean Harlow.
The other movie Powell and Lombard made together, prior to marriage, was "Man of the World." He was not in "No Man of Her Own"; that was Clark Gable and Lombard.
Thanks for this video. It was a real treat to see Powell's old home, and the interior photos!
Ya I agree He was off on many facts but it was nice of him showing the house they shared thanks for your correction to guide others that were unaware 😊
Just watched this vlog for the 3rd time! Love William Powell’s movies. I haven’t seen My Man Godfrey so I put a request in just now to check it out from my local library. I have seen the Thin Man movies that he did with Myrna Loy. I didn’t realize until just now that the two did 14 movies in all and that he and Carol did 3 together! Have you ever done a vlog about the Palm Springs Walk of Fame? According to Wikipedia, William Powell has one there. Instead of Stars, Palm Springs has their plaques in the shape of palms. Great vlog Jordan!
Your videos are amazing. I'm a fan of William Powell, great seeing the house where he lived. I just started watching your videos. Love all the old Hollywood info and Chaplin location videos. Keep up the great work.
Powell &Lombard didn't make No Man Of Her Own.Gable &Lombard did ,it was their only film made together.Thank you for your great videos!
Jordan, love seeing this home. Been watching vlogs I haven't seen and watching some over again.
Good on you Man - I'm a new subscriber and also a Huge Fan of William Powell! GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!
Good work. Hitting a nerve with me. Love old Hollywood. Carry on with the interesting pieces.
You do some awesome research to have found this house and info
Thank you for this video the house is in an amazingly private area & probably gorgeous inside!
Also love the film 'My Man Godfrey' ....A very charming movie! Thanks for sharing this.
Powell should have gotten an Oscar nod for his performance in Mister Roberts.
I agree
I love this vlog Jordan💙William Powell is one of my favorite actors💙Thank you for this vlog💙
William Powell is one of my favorites...he had exquisite eyelashes! You can see Double Harness with Anne Harding right here on YT! I love that film!!!!

Cont'd Happiness, Health & Success,Mr Jordan from Barbados!
Richard Lovell was a long time resident of Whitley Heights. The garages on either side of the park he donated are attached to houses without parking. Despite the best efforts of The Whiyley Heights Civic Association, which cleans it and provides dog poo bags, the Dick's generosity has become a convenient place for our neighbors to leave dog waste.
I'm really enjoying going back in time with your vlogs, Jordan because it's like watching you evolve into who you are today. I don't remember exactly when I subscribed to your channel though, but I guess I will find that out as I go through your vlogs. I think I've been watching for maybe two years? Are you still a fan of Whitley Heights? Love old movies and especially silent movies!
My Man Godfrey is my all-time favorite too! I discovered it when I was a little kid @ 8 years old and @65 years old, it is still my all time favorite of Wm. Powell movies. Love the Thin Man series too. Myrna Lou was so beautiful and charming. I loved her nose and her profile. He had a great profile too. Keep doing what you do! You obviously have a great passion for your work. Your vlogs provide me hours of entertainment since I binge watch because I just discovered you a few weeks ago. I thank you once again. Did you ever get my email about Caserta, Italy?
have you done a vlog on Joan Crawford?
I love your vlogs
Love "Godfrey" as well, particularly love the actor who plays the mother's protoge.
Couldn’t agree more, I came across “my man Godfrey” by accident, watched it and immediately fell in love with Carole Lombard. Whenever I want a lift I watch it again, Carole was superb in it and so was William Powell, she was 28 when it was released and playing a slightly scatty but kind teenager. I’ve gone on to watch many of Carole’s films and some are very good but none better than my man Godfrey.
How I love William Powell! He was amazing, charming with women and a gifted actor. Thank you for the video.
Jordan, MMG has always been close to my heart. Thanks for this feature on their home. No Man of Her Own costarred Gable. This video could use some sharper editing though.🎞
Sharper editing?
Number 600 woohoo. My Man Godfrey is a great funny movie. Good choice you picked out.
"No Man Of Her Own" (1932) was actually not made with William Powell - it starred Clark Gable with Carole Lombard, but they did not start dating until a few years later. She did make one other movie with William Powell and it was called "Man Of The World" (1932).
William Powell is my favorite actor of that era.
Hey Jordan! Love how you post about where the stars used to live! What sources do you use to find where they used to live? Thank you for your help!
No man of her own was made in1932 and Carole starred with Clark Gable long before their marriage.
Hi, Jordan!I share your passion for William Powell. You do have some things out of order. William Powell's comeback occurred with "The Thin Man" in 1934. By 1936, he was one of the most popular film stars there were. Carole Lombard became a star the year before with "Hands Across The Table" (1935), with Fred MacMurray. "My Man Godfrey" made her a major star and she was nominated for her only Oscar for Best Actress. You were right about the reasons that they divorced but they remained close friends. Lombard even nursed Powell when he came down with rectal cancer in 1938-1939. He is buried next to Carole Lombard and Clark Gable at Forest Lawn, Glendale. I also agree that "My Man Godfrey" is my all-time favorite film.Keep up the good work!
No William Powell is buried in desert memorial Park in cathedral City near his third wife Diana Lewis🙄
Love ya Daze but nope, "No Man of her Own" was the ONLY film Carole ever made with Clark Gable. She and William Powell met while working together on 1931 films, Man of the World and Ladies' Man. In June of that year they were married.
It's reported that he gave Lombard an 80 carat star sapphire ring (WOW). In 1936 Powell suggested Lombard for the role of Irene Bullock in the screwball comedy, My Man Godfrey even though they had been divorced in 1933 but William Powell, who was playing the eponymous Godfrey, insisted on her being cast as the female lead; despite their divorce, the pair remained friendly and Powell felt she would be perfect in the role of Irene.
I just watched a few minutes of a "McMillan and Wife" today and I swear it was this house that they used as the outside shot for their supposed personal residence. small world
I just found you, & just subscribed! I love all these old movies, & real stars. Today they just can’t compare.
Elizabeth Taylor, Vivian Leigh, Sophia Loren, Kim Novak, Norma Shear, Marilyn Monroe, so many! Who is there today to compare to that? No one in my opinion. And the men, Clark Gable, Frank Sinatra, William Holden, Clint Eastwood, Jimmy Stewart, & on, & on. Too many to list.
Looking forward to watching all your videos now.
you should watch some of the OLD John Garfield movies in my opinion he was the forerunner to Brando, Dean and Montgomery Clift, young men with a lot of angst
Such class
I thought that it was Powell who said he wouldn’t do My Man Godfrey unless Lombard was cast as the role of his contemporary? Interesting that you said it was the other way around
Super film! Ich bin fann C.Lombard und W. Powell ...das ist sehr schone haus.....Danke fur diese film...
...also Life With Father, excellent Powell in very different role, also stars Irene Dunn & a very young Elizabeth Taylor!
It’s good to know they could live in a less exclusive area and be more like regular people. It seems much harder today with all the crazies.
Carole Lombard is one of my Hollywood faves. She was so down to earth, sincere and good fun.
I visited his grave yesterday. I love his movies. What treasures.
William Powell was also great in Life with Father
Been a big fan of Godfrey for decades! I was excited to hear Lombard and Powell were in something else, but No Man of Her Own stars Carole and Clark, not William. Man of the World stars Lombard and Powell together. Not as good as My Man Godfrey, but definitely worth a once over. Also found Powell in a movie where he plays a butler (shock 😲) to an aging European duke or something. He takes such good care of the old guy, covering his mistakes hunting, meeting needs/preferences, but winds up running against him in a political race all while faithfully serving/caring for the family. Really cool movie except that he steals the baron's (?) daughter from her husband - not a bad guy. 😕 Check it out and enjoy if you are a as big a Powell fan as I am!
Loved William Powell and that movie also the Thin Man movies. Think he was neglected by Hollywood. They just discard people when they get older or out of favor. Is sad. Enjoy your videos. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas from Wisconsin.
JUST WATCHED MY MAN G TWO DAYS AGO .
Godfrey (the film, cast, et c.) is excellent; and I love stumbling onto people who "get it."
Have you seen mr and mrs Smith with Carol Lombard and Robert Montgomery comedy directed by Alfred Hitchcock one of my favorites.
I also like My Man Godfrey.
I like your dog He is a pup WOULD assume Where do i get one/// Jordan....is this Palm Springs?? Does not look like it but.........I do know that it is not Pitts burgh!!
That neighboorhood is so quiet. Sounds odd for LA.
It sounds like they are speaking with an English accent. I notice a lot of the stars then spoke like that.
My favorite TV 🐕 dog crazy about him
Can you find anywhere Russ Columbo lived? I know he's buried in Forrest Lawn still close to Ms. Lombard. He sang at the Coconut Grove. That's all (landmarks) I've been as able to find in conjunction with Mr. Coloumbo. It has been said several times that Carole Lombard said that "Russ Columbo was the love of her life." Their love story is a very special one.
+Peggy Hill look for my other Carole Lombard vlog. That house is where she lived and dated Russ, and Clark both.
Daze with Jordan the Lion.....Ok. Thank you.
I love William Powell too
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saw the memorial stone of what, Richard Lovell? Wish you would have read the inscription?
She was 12 years old when she started acting. She also had a short glorious life.
I HAVE THE BLU-RAY AND NEWLY COLORIZED VERSION OF"MY MAN GODFREY" DISCOWORM
Rudolph Valentino his house was knocked down, my mother's cousin who lived in LA area worked as a contractor, he was her first cousin, she told me when I was about 7 or 8..
Funny he is saying that he fell in love with Carole Lombard and William Powell and others of the genre movies 10 years ago - I've always loved old movies and Carole Lombard with Clark Gable AND William Powell as The Thin Man.... but just a month ago I saw My Man Godfrey and fell in love with these two as a pair.
actully jordan they did another movie together called man of the world you should check it out if you never seen it
love my man Godfrey
❤😊
Who wants to wear a wig someone else wore? That’s gross. I loved that movie when I saw it also.
She was up & coming & he wouldn't do the movie if she was not in that part. They split up because they were so different & she was not going to give up her career to be a stay at home mother. They remaid best of friends though. Jean Harlow didn't care about leaving showbiz. She always just wanted to be a homemaker it's her mother that wanted her in the limelight. He had finally found the woman of his dreams and only to be taken from
Such a shame how Lombard died. She was a talented beauty.
I love California ♥️
Whitney Heights, didn't Rudolph Valentino live in this area at one time?
My Man Godfrey also my favorite get it on you tube.
